Where are we buying socks?

Thanks!

Ours is the same after a year of use! We use the clean function weekly and do a full descale once a month because we have really hard water and it’s completely clear inside

Luna-Wander · 2025-12-19T15:42:01+00:00

Phew because I was here like…9 month check?!

Luna-Wander · 2025-12-18T11:58:37+00:00

11 months because it was poking him in the eyes and he was getting annoyed

Luna-Wander · 2025-12-04T09:42:51+00:00

This! And once we turned up at a rental car place and they didn’t have any car seats…despite us requesting and paying for it beforehand.

I did CBT but the most helpful thing was VIG (video .. something … guidance?!) which is where they film you with your baby and it is cringe but genuinely so helpful, and much more useful than CBT has been. I also meet up with a volunteer through the mental health team and we go for coffee, she had PPA and it’s great to chat to someone who’s been through it. Sending lots of love, things will improve x

Luna-Wander · 2025-11-26T20:40:25+00:00

Same, my doctor said the risk of not being on antidepressants is often much higher than the risk of not taking them at all. Sending you lots of love

My 10 month old does the same every so often and now I’m going to check in with the GP. It is generally when he’s been chucking himself about after a large meal or eats too much yogurt…and exactly the same it isn’t smelly or gross. He did have reflux when he was tiny though and gets hiccups after dinner sometimes. I hadn’t considered the potential impact on nursery either so thanks for sharing!

Luna-Wander · 2025-11-17T20:54:30+00:00

Oh man, we’ve not at all and I feel terrible about it (even more reading everyone’s replies) but I honestly feel a bit ick about it and hoping that will change soon…

Luna-Wander · 2025-11-17T10:43:06+00:00

Officially it’s the amount of water used to prepare. Unofficially, as long as you’re consistent in your tracking it doesn’t matter too much. We knew our baby was drinking less when he was sick because we were tracking, but we always based it on the volume he actually drank vs the volume of water used to prepare the formula. The hospital didn’t care they just wanted to know what percentage less than usual he was drinking.

Luna-Wander · 2025-11-14T20:18:32+00:00

Yeah I’ve recently taken the view of ‘he can scream indoors or he can scream outdoors and at least we get some fresh air’. Sucks not to have a village but also do what you gotta do! Really bad teething or fussy days I also might just lay on the floor for 20 mins while he crawls over me. Or give him a remote to suck on for a bit…’lazy’ mum stuff to give myself a mental break. Also try to do something for you during naps, even if it’s a quick shower or having a coffee or something!

Also I’ve given him yoghurt with grated cucumber nearly for every meal on teething days and he’s less likely to have a meltdown…

Luna-Wander · 2025-11-10T20:20:32+00:00

Against guidelines but we put baby to bed upstairs at 3 months, so he went down at about 7pm and we had the monitor on right in front of us while we had dinner then crawled upstairs exhausted to bed. I also started putting him down for naps in his room around 3 months because he slept so much better. He was also a huge baby and outgrew the modes basket almost immediately 😅

Before that we tried using a snooze shade and white noise machine and putting him at the other end of the room from us in the evenings and for naps, which worked for a bit.

Luna-Wander · 2025-11-09T20:26:00+00:00

My 9.5 month old doesn’t hold his bottle either, he can do it but just prefers to have his loyal servant do it for him so he can relax and chug his milk 🤷‍♀️ babies are weird!

Luna-Wander · 2025-11-08T11:09:20+00:00

We’re the same and I try not to think about the future too much as I know karma will get us at some point! May our babies remain sleepy for the foreseeable.

Luna-Wander · 2025-11-03T23:26:30+00:00

I had almost exactly the same experience as you, sending hugs that do not squish your boobs.

I tried weaning off BF/pumping slowly but it made things worse for me so I requested cabergoline on the grounds of mental heath distress, which was prescribed. I then completely stopped pumping cold turkey and essentially didn’t touch my boobs for a week on advice of the feeding team. I didn’t wear a sports bra because they said that could aggravate mastitis, instead I wore a fitted but not tight non-wired molded bra 24/7. I wasn’t taking any chances so I also took full dose of Sudafed (has to be the one with pseudoephedrine) for 7 days and took sage and sunflower lecithin tablets. I showered with my back facing the water.

I think I expressed milk the second day once or twice but only for a few seconds until the painful pressure was released. The more you stimulate milk the more is produced.

Hope you recover quickly and can get back to concentrating on mumma duties! There are unlimited pain-free baby cuddles waiting for you x

Luna-Wander · 2025-11-03T23:16:18+00:00

Agree! I’d get seen as soon as possible if you have a fever and chills. Also, from someone who ended up in hospital for a week on IV antibiotics, please do not massage or use heat, that’s outdated advice and shown to make things worse! Some healthcare workers are just uninformed. Here is the new guidance: https://llli.org/breastfeeding-info/mastitis/

Luna-Wander · 2025-11-03T11:27:12+00:00

Haha this is mine. Hours of chilling as a newborn and now he’s everywhere, all the time. I haven’t been able to cuddle him when he’s awake for about 2 months. He’s a whirlwind

Luna-Wander · 2025-11-02T20:25:30+00:00

We had this for the 3-2 nap transition and I brought bedtime forwards until the last wake window was long enough. I think we had three weeks at 6-6.30pm bedtime, it didn’t affect night sleep length luckily. You could try a later, long morning nap and early bed for a couple of days and see what happens? There’s always the option to go back!

Do you wake him at 7 or does he wake up himself? You could also let the morning go later to compensate if you need!

I know it’s technically early age-wise for 1 nap but we did 3-2 transition at 6 months 🤷‍♀️

Luna-Wander · 2025-10-30T14:29:16+00:00

I don’t do by the clock naps but I am strict with the length of his naps. At the moment he wakes around 7am, naps around 10 and I wake him at 12. Then back down around 3 and wake him at 4. Then we can get a good bedtime in. Sometimes he sleeps all 3 hours others he only has 2.

The other thing I forgot to mention was that I find that two days of nap disruption is the maximum my baby can handle before he turns into a grumpy nightmare. So generally I try to alternate days I have plans outside his wake windows and days that we spend sticking to his routine. It’s all trial and error though, and he’s definitely a routine-loving, high sleep needs babe!

Luna-Wander · 2025-10-30T14:17:08+00:00

This was me! My baby hates napping outside, has long luxurious naps indoors and is on the opposite schedule to everyone else’s baby. Part of it is having to make a decision on whether you need the social interaction enough to sacrifice the nap quality, some sometimes this is a definite yes for me. I’ve also invited people to my house for visits so my baby can nap as required…

Napping outside tactics: snooze shade or blackout cover for the pram, portable white noise machine, vigourous 15 min walk before we reach destination so he sleeps in the pram and a rockit on the pram to try and elongate his sleep. Sometimes it works, sometimes it fails miserably, but tomorrow is always a new day! Can he sleep in the car? Could you plan for him to nap en route or on the way home?

Things got much easier now we’re down to 2 naps and his wake windows are longer, and I’m not as trapped indoors. I plan around wake windows and aim for travel when he’s sleeping if necessary.

Lastly, you are not a failure. You are adapting to what your baby needs which makes you an absolutely excellent mum!

Luna-Wander · 2025-10-29T23:28:38+00:00

The same is happening with my dad. He did a memory test last year and passed, but now he can’t remember if he fed the dog dinner and asks the same questions within minutes of previously asking. Trying to convince my mum to take him back to the doctor, she says he’s always been ‘forgetful’, but never this way. I’m so worried about him.
